Kyle, Sutton & Erika Snub Dorit’s Book Cover Party — Major RHOBH Fallout After Italy Friendship Explosions
The cracks in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 15 are widening fast. Several core cast members, including Kyle Richards, Sutton Stracke, and Erika Jayne, skipped Dorit Kemsley’s book cover launch party — a clear sign that the dramatic fallout from their explosive Italy trip is far from over.

Join NowDorit, who has been navigating life after her separation from PK Kemsley, described the event as a long-awaited personal milestone.
In her confessional, she reflected on reclaiming her pre-PK identity in fashion and business, which she had stepped away from to focus on family.
“It feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve been able to really have something I can stand behind and celebrate,” she shared, noting her current need to support herself and her children.
However, the celebration felt noticeably lighter. Sutton texted her regrets, telling Boz she didn’t want to “be a part of the problem” and risk damaging their improving friendship.
Kyle and Sutton both sent messages declining to attend, while Erika didn’t show up — and didn’t even send a text. Natalie was reportedly sick, leaving Jennifer, Amanda, and Boz as the main supporters present.
At the party, Dorit confided in Rachel that she was “hanging on by a thread.” The snubs come just one episode after the group’s tense return from Italy and Rachel’s Studio 54 disco birthday bash, where lingering resentment from the “Last Supper” dinner continued to simmer.
The Italy Blowout That Started It All
Tensions exploded during the final dinner in San Miniato (Episode 16). Dorit stunned the table by claiming newcomer Bozoma Saint John had shown her more support than anyone else — including Erika and Kyle.
This prompted Erika to fire back fiercely, reminding viewers of her past support for Dorit amid her separation and financial struggles.
The argument turned ugly, with Dorit telling Erika she didn’t mean for her to “be a cnt” when suggesting she needed to work and contribute.
Erika responded coolly: “Dorit, you’re an sshole, and you’re a cnt.” Dorit stormed off the table (her second dramatic exit of the trip), declaring she’d rather be alone than around “a bunch of fcking c*nts.”
This dinner built on earlier friction: Dorit had already stranded Kyle and Erika on the tarmac for over an hour and a half without an apology during the Italy trip.
At the table, Kyle called out the lack of grace, while accusations flew about Dorit’s “erratic” behavior, tardiness, spending habits, and the “looming financial crisis” Boz had previously mentioned to Kyle (including Dorit’s name being tied to debt on the house and cars).
Dorit also reignited old resentment toward Kyle, claiming she had “protected” her for years and could have “ended” her if she wanted — comments that surfaced again through Sutton.
Where the Friendships Stand Now
At Rachel’s disco party (Episode 17), Dorit received an icy reception from Erika, who said she needed space to assess whether their friendship was “worth salvaging.” Kyle described Dorit as being “on a path of destruction” after tossing aside longtime bonds.
Sutton, meanwhile, felt belittled by Dorit’s condescending attitude and nearly walked out, later opening up about her own struggles with empty-nest feelings after dropping her child off at college.
This latest party snub raises questions about group loyalty in Season 15. Earlier in the season, Dorit met with Kyle’s estranged husband Mauricio Umansky to discuss PK, a conversation that reportedly didn’t go well.
Meanwhile, the cast has been dealing with heavy personal storylines — from Erika’s revelations about a recent abusive relationship and her ongoing legal battles tied to Tom Girardi, to Amanda Frances sharing her escape from a controlling cult and her “Money Queen” manifestation empire facing skepticism.
With the reunion special approaching and Kyle already teasing intense drama, Dorit’s book party boycott could mark a turning point. Will the fractured friendships heal, or has the “path of destruction” become too wide to cross?
Fans are divided: Is the group unfairly piling on Dorit as she rebuilds post-separation, or has her defensive behavior and repeated exits pushed her closest allies too far?
